My thesis explores experiences of disclosing SV among women of African/Caribbean heritage. A recurring theme in my data is that these women often spend so much time needing to explaining culture to white therapists that they don’t get enough space to speak about the trauma. 1/2

Hundreds of my colleagues are feeling this at this moment. I am heartbroken for them. They are intelligent, bright, dedicated mothers who are being made to make an unbearable decision, with no basis. @rcog @GOVUK are you even listening? @Hmcgera @MilkBankScot @milk_foundation

Pleased to finally get this published but through all the drafts I’m still floored by the results: 10x more likely to attempt suicide. – at Bristol, England
Women who experience #sexualviolence combined with other forms of intimate partner violence suffer greater damage to their #health & are much more likely to attempt suicide - research led by @DrLucypotter. bit.ly/3nmL1iR @hegarty_kelsey @WHO @IJEeditorial @One25Charity

The decision of the Sun to put an abusers ‘side of the story’ reflects how violence against women so often gets dismissed ‘as a domestic’ and so debate focuses on ‘reasons it happens’ rather than how to stop it. Heads should roll for doing this, not newspaper presses…

I've never been prouder to be Bristol City Poet & to offer a poem to my adopted city than I am today. This piece is called Hollow and I hope you like it. I've captioned it and everything! Rust in shame, Eddie.
